Quote from: danskmacabre;1110020I've heard of Pokemon being viewed as Satanic by some of the more out there Christian groups, but not for some time now.
I've never heard of any groups having an issue with WoW, but that doesn't surprise me some have.

The Pokemon thing just seems super bizarre to me. Like, I can't envision how it could be perceived as in any way Satanic. I suppose maybe calling out your pocket monsters being somehow allegorical to demon summoning? Or the fact that there are spooky-looking ghost ones that could be demons/spirits?

Interesting. Might have to dig deeper into that one later.

To be fair for me personally it was more Warcraft I than World of Warcraft which I had trouble with, but considering the shamans, druids, warlocks summoning demons, undead, and so forth, I also would not be surprised if there were groups which raised a fuss regarding that as well.

Yeah, seems Pokemon is training our kids in the arts of demon summoning.

I did a quick google of Wow and Satanic panic type hysteria and a cursory Google search comes up with some hits about some Christian groups getting all worked up over WoW. heh.

Don't you guys know that the Muppets are a satanic plot to prepare children to accept the beast of Revelation?  Haven't you heard that Proctor and Gamble is secretly satanic and their moon logo is a spell?  You probably don't realize the Free Masons are a devil worshiping witch cult, though that one's a few hundred years older but still prevalent enough that I've seen Joseph Smith's masonic connections used to prove he was a devil worshiper.  Catholics are devil worshipers. Yoga is satanic.  Islam is satanic.  It goes on and on, really.  I've got a Catholic friend who married a Pentecostal lady and he's got a pretty good theory, "Stupid, scared Christians are more profitable than comfortable progressive ones."  It's a bit of an ugly theory but I suspect he's got it right.
